Pros:

Lovely large, clean toom with very comfortable beds. Breakfast was really good. Lovely decorated dining area.

Lovely two night stay!
Pros:

We had a lovely two night stay at The Harbour Inn. It is located outside the town of Buncrana but across from the beautiful beach. The staff were exceptionally kind. Our room was very comfortable and had a fan that we could use to help with the warm nights. We enjoyed their morning breakfast as well.

Pros:

Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and spacious. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. Lady on reception was very helpful in arranging an extra night's stay for us at short notice.

Cons:

Only a minor point. Location is some way from the town centre, requiring a short 10min drive or taxi. Not really an issue for us.

Beautiful location, excellent food and a lovely Irish welcome!
Pros:

The breakfast room is well laid out and the selection for breakfast is impressive. We ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent and certainly lived up to its reputation. The hotel is very good but the staff are incredible, friendly, helpful and so welcoming.

Cons:

Not really sure what could have been better. We felt at home while we were there.
